Since gdk-imlib1 must be built with libpng2, my proposal is to ask for
the removal of imlib1 and gdk-imlib1.

Since gdk-imlib1 underlies basically all of GNOME1, that will force
the removal of GNOME1 as was previously mooted:

Is this okay with the GNOME maintainers?  If not, would one or more
of you like to adopt these packages?
